Logs for successful and failed run.

Since commit 1cb189c0c8ab our tests on Windows started to fail because command line length was exceeded. Maybe the commit is correct but it somehow influenced test harness. Could you look at it? To reproduce:

- on Windows have NetBeans repository
- ant bootstrap (in case you did changes to ParseProjectXml.java)
- ant -f j2ee.kit test-qa-functional -Dtest.includes=**/J2EEValidation.class -Dnetbeans.dest.dir=C:\netbeans -verbose

It does not start NetBeans. See attached test.properties and logs for successful and failed run.

In fact the commit is correct.
Before the commit the command line was shorter, but incorrect as it was missing the extra module classpath elements which was causing that tests depending on nb-javacapi did not work.

Comment 3 Jiri Skrivanek 2016-03-24 08:56:14 UTC

I tried but if NetBeans are on other disk than repository it fails during build:

BUILD FAILED
D:\hg\core-main\j2ee.kit\register_server.xml:6: The following error occurred while executing this line:
D:\hg\core-main\nbbuild\templates\common.xml:717: The following error occurred while executing this line:
D:\hg\core-main\nbbuild\templates\common.xml:774: The following error occurred while executing this line:

If we are on the same disk it fails loading WatchProjects class:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/netbeans/test/ide/WatchProjects
